Wednesday Night Ratings

Led by American Idol’s 7.9 adults 18-49 rating, Fox dominated the night with adults 18-49, and won with total viewers too.   That was down 4% from last Wednesday’s episode and down 12% versus a 9.0 adults 18-49 ratings for  last year’s equivalent episode of the cycle on Tuesday, February 23 (also a two hour episode).

Survivor was up a tenth from its premiere to a 3.3 adults 18-49 rating and Criminal Minds was up two tenths from last week to a 3.4 rating, but Criminal Minds: Suspect Behavior looked a little more like a CBS 10pm show in its second week and slumped 24% from its premiere to a 2.5 adults 18-49.

The Middle was up a tenth from last week, and Better With You was flat week over week.  Modern Family was down 5% to a season low 4.1 adults 18-49 rating and Mr. Sunshine dropped another 11% down to a 2.4 rating.  Off The Map was up 13% to a 1.7 adults 18-49 rating.

On NBC Minute to Win It was up 20% from last week to a 1.2 adults 18-49 rating between 8-10p and Law & Order: SVU was up 14% to a 2.5 adults 18-49 rating.

CW’s reality Wednesday got off to a slow start as America’s Next Top Model could do no better than a 1.1 rating with adults 18-49 and a 1.8 rating with CW’s target women 18-34, that’s about 14% worse than its fall premiere with women 18-34.

Shedding for the Wedding was dead on arrival with a 0.5 adults 18-49 rating.  Still the CW notes that it was its best reality series premiere in more than two years.  But doing better than High Society and Fly Girls isn’t saying too much.

Wow, CSI and Grey's Anatomy numbers look bad. I wonder is it because of AI or maybe the viewers are fed up with these shows.

Sunday Night Ratings :

The fast national ratings for the Academy Awards show are down from last year’s comparable numbers, but we’ll have to wait until the time zone adjusted numbers are available later today for an accurate reading of the declines.

Last nights Academy Awards drew a fast affiliate  10.6 adults 18-49 rating down 15% from the fast affiliate 12.5 adults 18-49 rating for last year’s show. The fast affiliate average viewership was 33.5 million viewers, but expect both numbers to rise with the time zone adjusted numbers. Even with the likely upwards adjustments, our polled readers look to have been overly optimistic, and the show looks to be on the low side of recent years.

We should have time zone adjusted ratings (likely very close to the final ratings) for ABC at approximately 3pm Eastern time today. Last year’s Academy Awards drew a 13.3 adults 18-49  rating and averaged 41.3 million viewers. For more historical perspective, you can check out our table of historical Academy Awards ratings here.

In less star studded television, CBS’s 60 Minutes 1.2 adults 18-49 rating was down 14% vs. last Sunday. The Amazing Race’s 2.1 adults 18-49 rating fell 16% from its premiere to a series low for a regular episode. CSI: Miami was down 9% to a series original low 2.0 adults 18-49 rating.

Sunday Cable Ratings:

The NBA’s ‘Melo-fied Knicks/Heat game on Sunday lead the night’s cable shows with a 1.9 adults 18-49 rating and over 4 million viewers.

E’s Live From the Red Carpet scored a nice 1.5 adults 18-49 rating.

Ax Men was up a tenth to a 1.2 adults 18-49 rating.

In the premium cable world, Big Love was even with a 0.5 adults 18-49 rating. Californication was also steady, but with a 0.2 adults 18-49 rating. Shameless slipped a tenth to a a 0.4 adults 18-49 rating and fell below a million viewers.

Monday Cable Ratings

WWE Raw again easily led Monday cable with the same adults 18-49 2.1 and 2.2 ratings respectively for its two hours as last week.

The penultimate episode of ABC Family’s Greek drew a 0.5 adults 18-49 rating.

Pretty Little Liars was steady versus last week with adults 18-49 to a 1.0 rating and once again easily ahead of 90210 on the CW (and bettered Gossip Girl too, even though those shows do not go head-to-head) coming out easily ahead in all of the key demos and total viewers.

MTV’s Skins rose for the second week in a row, up a tenth to a 0.5 adults 18-49 rating.

Being Human also rose for the second week in a row, up a tenth versus last week to 0.6 adults 18-49 rating.

Wednesday Night Ratings :

American Idol’s 7.7 adults 18-49 rating was down 3% vs. last Wednesday, but it still easily pushed Fox to the top of the ratings heap for the night.

Following Idol, Traffic Light, still destined for the dustbin, was lifted to a series high 2.8 rating.

On ABC, The Middle’s 2.3 rating was down a tenth from last week tieing a season low, while Better With You’s 1.8 rating was even with last week’s series low.Modern Family’s 4.1 rating was even with last week’s season low, and Mr. Sunshine got some good news, rising 9% vs. last week to a 2.4 rating. Off The Map didn’t share Sunshine’s rise though, it was even with last week’s 1.7 rating.

CBS’s entire line up caught an updraft, as Survivor rose 6% vs. last week to a 3.3 adults 18-49 rating, and Criminal Minds 3.6 rating was 13% higher than last week, while Criminal Minds: Subject Behavior rose 8% (perhaps it was that Law & Order:SVU had a repeat) to a 2.6 rating.

After a disappointing premiere, CW’s America’s Next Top Model fell another 18% to a 0.9 adults 18-49 rating (among women 18-34 it drew a 1.5 rating, down 21% vs. last week). While the spectacularly unwatched Shedding For The Wedding drew just a 0.4 adults 18-49 rating, down 20% from last week’s premiere (its 0.8 women 18-34 rating was down 20% vs. last week).

On NBC, the new Minute to Win It at 9pm scored the same series low 1.0 adults 18-49 rating that the 2 hour episode had last week.

Just Cranked it up a notch

Thursday Night Ratings :

Against almost a complete slate of repeats on broadcast television, American Idol dominated the ratings Thursday night.

American Idol’s 8.1 adults 18-49 rating was up 13% vs. last Thursday. That was also up 29% vs. the comparable telecast last season (3/11/10, 6.3 A18-49 rating)

Flying solo, the only other new show on broadcast TV last night, CBS’s Rules of Engagement, tumbled 18% vs. last week to just a 2.3 adults 18-49 rating.

Against the English broadcast repeats, Univision finished third for adults 18-49, ahead of both NBC and ABC.Interesting to note that NBC’s “All Office” repeat Thursday at least beat ABC’s line up.

Thursday Cable Ratings:

Jersey Shore’s 4.1 rating with adults 18-49 was up a tenth vs. last week, and easily beat everything (OK, they were mostly repeats on broadcast) on TV Thursday night not named American Idol.

Without a Royal Pains lead in, but against broadcast repeats, Fairly Legal was up two tenths to a 0.9 adults 18-49 rating.

Archer’s 0.5 adults 18-49 rating and Beyond Scared Straight’s a 0.7 adults 18-49 rating were both the same as last week.

Sunday Night Ratings :

The ABC network premiere of Secret Millionaire was off to a good start with a a 3.3 adults 18-49 rating. That helped Desperate Housewives which was up 10% from its last original to a 3.4 rating and Brothers & Sisters which was up 16% to a 2.2 rating.  ABC won the night with adults 18-49 and CBS took the night in total viewers.

Over on CBS, The Amazing Race was up 29% from last week (when it was against the Oscars) to a 2.7 adults 18-49 rating. Undercover Boss was up 4% vs. its last original on February 20 to a 2.7 rating. CSI: Miami was up 20% vs. last week when it aired against the Oscars to a 2.4 adults 18-49 rating

On NBC, America’s Next Great Restaurant didn’t get off to a great start with a 1.6 adults 18-49 rating, down 33% from the time period premiere of Minute to Win It  on March 14, 2010.  The Celebrity Apprentice premiered to a 2.7 adults 18-49 rating, that’s down 16%  from last year’s 3.2 preliminary adults 18-49 rating for its premiere on Sunday, March 14, 2010.

The Simpsons was up 4% vs. its last original on February 20 to a 2.8 adults 18-49 rating. Bob’s Burgers was up 5% to a 2.3 adults 18-49 rating. Family Guy and Cleveland Show  were both down from their last originals to 3.1 adults 18-49 rating and a 2.3 adults 18-49 rating respectively.

Yes it is.

Monday Night Ratings :

Fox won the night with adults 18-49 and total viewers led by House with a 3.8 adults 18-49 rating and a The Chicago Code that was steady with another 2.1 adults 18-49 rating.

The Event returned from hiatus in worse ratings shape than when it left.  Its 1.4 adults 18-49 rating was down 26 percent from the 1.9 rating for its previous episode in late November.  Clearly a victory for “out of sight, out of mind’ over “absence makes the heart grow fonder.”

Fans of The Event will cue the “what did they expect! It was off the air for over 3 months and they hardly promoted the return” music in the comments, while Chuck fans try to restrain themselves from smirking.

Harry’s Law was flat from last week with a 1.8 rating with adults 18-49, but considering both Hawaii Five-0 and Castle were repeats last night, that’s pretty disappointing. The repeat of Hawaii Five-0 had a 2.0 adults 18-49 rating to win the hour. Harry’s Law did hit a five week high in total viewers with a PR friendly 9.4 million.

ABC’s The Bachelor was down 11% from last week to a 3.1 adults 18-49 rating.  Without a new How I Met Your Mother as a lead in, Mad Love was down 11% to a series low 2.4 adults 18-49 rating.

You're laughing because of The Event ?

holy mother of all ratings.
